Paratext Text	for Socrates Kabouropoulos
Notes	The poem's setting is somewhere in Greece where the speaker is engaged in a converation with locals. They inquire into the contemporary social and political state of Ireland and prompt the speaker/poet to write poems that respond not to Greece and classical myth but to Irish politics, class inequalities, crime and law.
